• In
IMRT
plans often the
most exposed volume
is not a relating agglomeration (cluster),
but in the organ
takes place sporadically
•
bladder
: not the same volume receives the highest dose in IMRT than in 4F-box treatments
•
rectum
: sometimes the close same division
•
sigmoid
: always the close same

(% - PD)
So it is deserving to compute for OARs i BT dose planning in this way:
they
had received approximately the PD of the external beam treatment.
